Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

Reverse image search, also known as search by image or reverse image lookup, is a search technique that involves using sample images to search for similar images on the web. Instead of using textual keywords and phrases, you upload a photo or paste the URL of a photo in the search box of the search engine of your choice and search for images that are identical or similar to your query image. 

If the past few years have taught us all something it’s that “fake news” has found its home on social media.

While “fake” posts are often news stories, they can also be images that people share, sometimes without the knowledge that what they’re sharing isn’t factual.

For instance: Last week French President Emmanuel Macron posted an image along with a post calling for an emergency order to help save the Amazon rain forest.
